Job summary

Venatrix in London is hiring the first Forward Deployed Engineer for a recently-funded, early-stage startup that builds AI tools for real customer environments, not just demos. You’ll own end-to-end delivery from first conversation to live production, writing code yourself and directly engaging with customers when it matters.

You’ll work inside diverse stacks, adapt to what customers already use, and shape what gets built next.

Qualifications

• Production systems experience: built and shipped live systems.
• Strong Python and/or TypeScript skills.
• Hands-on with RAG and agent frameworks (LangChain/LangGraph).
• Experience with AI coding tools (Claude Code/Cursor).
• At least one custmer engagement you owned.
• Comfortable without a fixed brief; travel to customer sites.

Responsibilities

• Take a customer from first conversation through to fully live, owning the whole thing rather than handing pieces off along the way.
• Work inside a customer's existing systems, often a stack you didn't choose, and build on top of it without breaking what's already there.
• Be the person their engineers trust and come to directly, not through anyone else.
• Build with the current AI stack day to day, RAG, agent frameworks, MCP or similar, evals.
• Bring what you're seeing on the ground back to the team, it'll actually change what gets built next at this stage.
• Talk comfortably with engineers and with founders or execs, sometimes in the same day.
